Watchmensch - Review - L7 World

Watchmensch is a parody of Watchmen (duh) where the protagonists aren’t heroes, they’re Jewish lawyers determined to wrest control from comic book creators. It’s the one adaptation Alan Moore would actually approve of.

Not because Moore is an anti-Semite, but because he has a long-standing feud with DC comics over just this issue. Don’t worry if you didn’t major in comic book history, just like in the Watchmen comic book there’s an article page that gives all the details.

Unlike their counterparts the Watchmensch don’t have any real powers other than the power to cheat people, which they use on everyone from Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster who get $130 for creating Superman to a jet lagged Alan Moore who signs away his work in blood!

The ending alone makes this worth getting. I won’t spoil it for you except to say that it’s B-I-G (and no it’s not a Jewish squid AKA jewfish).
